Shido had known the signs were just adding up too much. There was too much— wrong. Too many signs that something was clearly up for this to be a haven.
So, it's as soon as he's teleported out of that room that he goes straight to Aiden's room, and knocks on the door.]
[He'll give him a curious glance, but doesn't hesitate to obey. As soon as he's kicked his shoes off, he'll lay down on the bed, folding his arms in front of him and resting his chin on his hands. He lets out a considerably heavy breath.]
Back at Keystone Station, Akira told me that the game he'd been in had lasted about a month.
After asking the kid for a CD player, he's studying the CD for a moment... and then putting the thing in...
... It doesn't take him long to regret it. Within a matter of seconds, it feels as though he's back in that school. With an unsteady breath, he quickly turns the thing off.
Which... does nothing? He's outright throwing the CD player and curling his fingers into his hair. Fuck... Fuck...
[ His breaths aren't steady as he remains rigid for a moment, his hands refusing to be coaxed from his hair. But... he relents when it sinks in that this is Masayoshi.
He's okay... He's safe... ]
That-... It's just like back then... It's just like the school... It won't stop...
[ Tears are starting to pour down his face, and he's looking up at Masayoshi with an expression full of both fear and pain. ]
[ He's actually panting softly as he lets their foreheads rest together. There's a sound that's actually close to a whimper as he tightly closes his eyes for just a moment.
That's a mistake. He quickly opens his eyes and focuses on Masayoshi's face. On his voice. ]
[He sits on the bed and leans against the wall, drawing Aiden into his arms and getting them both comfortable.]
I've been reading up on hearts in the library. Apparently, there is one such world which has a weapon known as a Keyblade... And these Keyblades are possessed with the power of locking and unlocking hearts.
A person whose heart is locked falls into a deep slumber, while a heart that is unlocked is awake. At least... that's what seems to be the case as far as I gathered.
[Gently, he strokes through Aiden's hair as he speaks.]
Indeed. You could easily effectively send someone into a coma, after all. Apparently it was crafted in the image of something known as the χ, the Greek letter, blade. And that χblade could reveal something known as Kingdom Hearts.
Perhaps you ought to read it, sometime. [He gives a gentle smile as he presses a kiss to the top of Aiden's head.] I think you'd enjoy it.

Aiden? It's me.

[ It's as he's closing the door behind the older man, he's thinking over everything said at the meeting... ]
Like... one of the games... people like me have been through? What all did the note say?
no subject
Date: 2019-03-19 05:12 am (UTC)I believe so. It told me I was given the role of The Reset, and I can only win the game if I live until the end...
And that only I have the ability to bring everyone else back to life in the end.

Date: 2019-03-20 09:07 am (UTC)After tensely releasing the breath, he moves forward, tightly wrapping his arms around Masayoshi. ]

no subject
Date: 2019-03-23 05:58 pm (UTC)I must.
[There's no option not to survive...
He turns his head, and presses a kiss to Aiden's temple. He then simply holds that hug awhile, before finally saying:]
... let's go sit awhile.

It won't stop!
no subject
Date: 2019-03-19 03:05 am (UTC)Shh. Shh... I'm here. I'm here.
[He looks towards the ruined player and narrows his eyes, before bringing his hands down to take Aiden's and tug him towards the bed.]
Come. Sit with me.
no subject
Date: 2019-03-19 03:41 am (UTC)That's a mistake. He quickly opens his eyes and focuses on Masayoshi's face. On his voice. ]

Date: 2019-03-27 10:02 am (UTC)Unlocking and locking hearts... [ grim smirk ] Sounds like a pretty big responsibility...

Date: 2019-03-28 09:38 pm (UTC)Sounds like I would.
[ Aiden's snuggling closer. ]
What had you interested? Was it some of the people here?
no subject
Date: 2019-03-29 02:31 am (UTC)I told you, didn't I? [He turns his head, settling a cheek against the back of Aiden's.] I won't rest until I find a way to save you.
